Guitar Hero III: Legends Of Rock (Activision) (PlayStation 2 (EU Version))

All the best stuff from the first two games has been kept in and everything that's been added just makes this Guitar Hero the best yet!

Tony Hawk's Proving Ground (Activision) (PlayStation 2 (EU Version))

Grey, unfair, buggy: it's a lacklustre entry to the series. Still, it's better than Downhill Jam.

Cars Mater-National (THQ) (PlayStation 2 (EU Version))

As a racing game, Cars is good, straightforward, family fun. As a movie licence, it's a must for all fans.

Dragonball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 3 (Bandai) (PlayStation 2 (EU Version))

Looks great, good fun and packed full of modes, but most fights play out the same way once you work out a winning formula.

Alan Hansen's Sport Challenge (Oxygen Games) (PlayStation 2 (EU Version))

Unimaginative, uninspired and just plain unexciting.

Cheggers' Party Quiz (Oxygen Games) (PlayStation 2 (EU Version))

Underdeveloped, underwhelming and just plain unbelievable.

Boogie (Electronic Arts) (PlayStation 2 (US Version))

Like an X-Factor winner, this is nice to look at and entertaining for a little while, but is ultimately vacuous and short-lived.

Avatar: The Burning Earth (THQ) (PlayStation 2 (EU Version))

More than a little mindless, The Burning Earth is definitely one for fans only. Everyone else should leave it well alone.

SingStar Bollywood (London Studio) (PlayStation 2 (EU Version))

All the classics are there, but they feel watered down because of the language.

Looney Tunes: Acme Arsenal (Warner Bros.) (PlayStation 2 (EU Version))

Frustrating, disheartening and broken in places: a perfect recipe for making kids cry.

Need For Speed ProStreet (Electronic Arts) (PlayStation 2 (EU Version))

Illegal street racing makes for a fun game. Auto testing on a runway doesn't...

The Golden Compass (Sega) (PlayStation 2 (EU Version))

Not a disaster, but sorely lacking in polish. It is riddled with problems and takes too many liberties with the franchise.
